WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Tuesday replaced two top Justice Department officials associated with an ill-fated investigation into a gun-trafficking network in Arizona that has been at the center of a political conflagration.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced the resignation of the United States attorney in Phoenix, Dennis K. Burke, and the reassignment of the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Kenneth E. Melson.
The two officials became the highest-profile political casualties yet in the fallout from a disputed effort to take down a weapons-smuggling ring based in Arizona and linked to Mexican drug cartels.

Holder does not deserve to sleep well.
His house of cards must be a chore to keep standing.
Cost them their jobs?????? I guess it did..sorta. They still are employed.
There, fixed.
BATFags and their enablers march on.
They should be in jail with Omulah, Holder and Clinton.
How often do posts with earlier post times post after others with later post times?
Uh, I suspect they’re two of the good guys, trying to uncover skunk trails.
If this was a Republican administration, the media would be wall-to-wall coverage, demanding to know what the president knew and when did he know it.
There would be joint congressional investigative committees, special counsels up the wazoo, and so on. Instead, because the president is a Dem, there’s a collective yawn from the media.
Their eyes are blinded by satan;
2 COR 4:4 (KJV) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
No further explanation required.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Uh, no, they’re not. Their hands are bloody, REALLY BLOODY. Burke was the AUSA in charge of Phoenix and technically RUNNING the gunwalking operation for DOJ. Melson was the acting director of ATF and knew what was up. He did, however, sing to Issa’s committee in a secret session on July 4, with his own lawyer instead of a DoJ one. At that time, he KNEW he was headed under the bus and, it’s believed, wanted a dose of immunity. Both are scumbags of the worst sort. Both are being scapegoated in order to keep the heat from scorching Holder and Obummer! Melson’s now got a rubber room job so he can be watched and controlled by Holder.
His house of cards must be a chore to keep standing.
You do understant this is Obama's WATERGATE, don't you? The Community Organizer planned this operation and now the pawns are falling to protect him.
Holder, John Mitchell, who cares? Obama is the prize here, he ordered the implementation and the cover up. Notice the Community Organizer is coming unglued and the MSM is starting to abandon him. Now you know WHY.
...in the fallout from a disputed effort to [take down] form a weapons-smuggling ring based in Arizona and [linked] directly supplying weapons to Mexican drug cartels.
There, fixed.

Why do I continue to be upset by the lies of the NY Times?
